Visual delay in Vista

[monsterman]

Sometimes when I am fiddling around online or playing wow the entire system will pause for a few seconds then resume like nothing happened. I can even keep typing and when it returns to real-time the words/characters that I typed will be shown. What should I do to troubleshoot this issue?

E8400- OC @ 3.78ghz
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P
4g gskill pi-black ddr2 800
Seagate barracuda 500g
Vista home premium
Sapphire 4850 1gb- not OC'ed

Does it ever happen any other time than playing WOW?
If not I'd check out the quality of your Internet connection.

Now that you mention it I believe that its only when I am online. I will reset my router and wireless just to make sure thats not the problem.

Sounds like you're experiencing an unusually bad case of LAG.
Try some different game servers as well.

I have reset my router and cable modem and have yet to experience the problem again. I will keep in touch

Another thought - can you connect directly to your cable modem for testing?
Give that a shot if you're still seeing problems.

I am not currently seeing problems thus far... after resetting the modem
